“Boss?” The man seemed to be laughing. “So what?”

Bei Lun laughed even louder.

Back then, he had talent-spotted this guy because of his unruly nature.

And now he was finding this kid more and more to his liking.

The man unbuttoned his shirt as he continued, “She’s too timid though, doing exactly as she was told and not informing Mu Xichen. Tsk, I would have loved to see Mu Xichen’s expression.”

Bei Lun laughed. “Don’t underestimate how much this woman means to Mu. The last time, he crippled one of my brothers. Do you know why?”

“Because of his dirty deeds. He wanted to violate her? It’s not a secret.”

Bei Lun commented, “Shi, you’re growing on me.”

“Unfortunately, I’m not fond of you.” The man named Shi took off his clothes and tossed them onto the security officer’s face before strolling off.

Bai Yuan had driven some distance before he realized from Li Beinian’s expression that something was amiss.

Feeling uneasy, he asked her, “What’s wrong?”

Li Beinian shook her head. “Have you called Mu Xichen?”

Her question struck a guilty chord. He cleared his throat and told her the truth, “I did.”

He quickly explained, “I sensed you were behaving oddly, so I called Boss and decided to trail you.”

Li Beinian nodded. “When will he come and get me?”

Bai Yuan glanced at the cell phone on the dial. Li Beinian followed his gaze, and saw the location sharing.

It was getting closer.

She zoomed into the map all the way, and realized that they were on the same road.

Not long after, Li Beinian saw a military-green Hummer approaching from a distance.

A gloomy looking man could be seen in the driver’s seat.

Who else could it be but Mu Xichen?

Bai Yuan was awkwardly embarrassed as he pulled the car to a stop. Li Beinian got off. She got into the front passenger seat of Mu Xichen’s car.

She turned around and noticed there were all sorts of gifts in the backseat.

Some were prepared by her and others, by Mu Xichen.

Li Beinian licked her lips and was about to speak when Mu Xichen asked, “What happened?”

She looked rather awful.

Her face wasn’t exactly ashen, but she did look quite pale compared to usual.

Li Beinian exhaled deeply and said, “Are we going to Tong State now?”

The man glanced at her and said, “If you’re feeling unwell, we’ll go the next time.”

“Have you informed Grandpa?”

“I mentioned it,” Mu Xichen said casually and continued, “Grandpa is probably waiting for us to dine with him.”

Li Beinian took a deep breath.

Given this, how could it have been just a simple mention?

“We’ll go.” Li Beinian was resigned to it. “Fortunately, you brought everything. Otherwise, I’d have gone empty-handed.”

She tried to sound relaxed, but it was obvious that she was extremely troubled.

Mu Xichen did not speak further but started the car.

Li Beinian pondered for a long time before saying, “Mu Xichen, will you do me a favor.”

“Don’t hide anything from me.” Mu Xichen looked at her sideways, his eyes deep as the ocean. “We’re husband and wife.”

Li Beinian felt a dull ache in her heart when she heard those words.

Yes, they were husband and wife now.

But they weren’t, in her previous life.

He had done so much for her even in her previous life, what more now?

She found herself letting out some things that she had wanted to hide.

From the moment she received Chi Hailang’s call, to the look in the security officer’s eyes, she told him everything.

Mu Xichen drove steadily. His face was calm but there was a hint of iciness in his seemingly indifferent expression.

He said, “I’m their target.”

His words confirmed Li Beinian’s guess.

“They’re testing the both of us.”
